The inflexibility of the transfer caused problems in the working options and production capacity of our diverter valves, which require multiple operations on several occasions. Moreover, we had …

Our complex manufacturing required multiple machining stages on transfer machines, with long and complicated tooling operations. Furthermore, it was difficult to maintain a good quality standard due …

Our production is so varied, both in terms of kind of pieces and lot sizes (from a few units to tens of thousands of parts). For the production we mainly used machining centers for medium-small …

With a horizontal center we were unable to deal with our workload, made of lots of parts and relatively small batches. It would have been necessary to purchase two additional machining centers, …

I had problems related to the part loading and the downtime of tool changes; to perform all the machining of the part I had to equip several machines. Now, I load the part on the free pallet, while …

Before discovering PORTA Production Method, I faced up to long tooling times and cycle times, which did not allow an immediate production change. The aim was to machine as many parts as possible by …
